Access Control

• monitors the movement of people within the premises
  
• replaces conventional locks and the need for replacement in the event of lost keys
  
• controls where and when staff can enter and leave buildings
  
• allows specific access by individuals to building areas at specified times.
  

Access Control Systems range in complexity and cost. The most basic system uses a keypad requiring a code. This is relatively inexpensive and easy to use. However,  it is the least secure, as codes are easily misappropriated. 

Card Readers, also known as "Proximity Tags," are pre-programmed cards that are held near the sensor to operate the lock. Should a card be lost, it is simply deactivated, and security is not compromised.

Bio-metric Systems which use finger prints, iris scanners and voice identification are more expensive but do offer greater security and are usually used in sensitive situations.
